Given the humorous name, Dirty Dicks is a pub just a hop away from Liverpool Street station. The pub itself was really 'ye olde worldy' and looks great albeit relatively empty at midday on the weekend. I love the look of the place, ye older exposed beams, wooden floor worn smooth by years of trade, lots of nooks and crannies to sit and hide away in.

Venison cottage pie, kale, savoy cabbage

A chill day catching up with friends over some pints veiled our original plan of ice skating at Broadgate. Friends ate at Nandos before we arrived so we settled for a pub.I think because it is just after Christmas, nearly half the menu was unavailable so me and Mr T both had the same dish. Venison cottage pie was good and nothing special about the vegetables. Don't think we can even stand up on the ice rink after so many pints and hearty food.

Dirty Dicks is usually filled with young to middle-aged suits popping in for a pint or two (or more) after works and can get very crowded. The place has some serious history, dating back to the mid 18th century. It's a cozy pub with great selection of alcohols and hearty pub food, not cheap but that's the location.
